Slide 2: What is globalization? A process (or set of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions – assessed in terms of their extensity, intensity, velocity, and impact – generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction, and the exercise of power Held et al, 2003

Slide 3: Why globalization? The information age in which we live allows both large and small businesses to thrive on a global scale. Technologies like the internet, mobile phones, etc. have made our shrinking world even smaller. Kingsley 2005

Slide 4: Global supply chains - Dell Surrounding every Dell factory are supplier logistic centers owned by the different suppliers of Dell parts - Friedman 2005 Susanto

Slide 5: International production network – Boeing 787 Networked internationalization is at the core of the production process - Castells 2000

Slide 6: Patterns of internationalization HIGH Trading Global industries industries --aerospace --automobiles --military hardware --oil --diamond mining --semiconductors --agriculture --consumer electronics International trade Domestic Multidomestic industries industries --railroads --laundries/dry cleaning --retail banking --hairdressing --hotels LOW --milk --consulting LOW Foreign direct HIGH investment Grant 2007

Slide 10: You are listening to WWBH, Kiss FM! Ask yourself four basic questions WHY? WHERE? BRING? HOW? Adapted from Sölvell

Slide 11: Why internationalize?  To build global efficiency  Benefiting from differences in factor costs – wages, cost of capital  Expanding and exploiting potential scale economies - manufacturing, R&D, sales & marketing  Sharing of investments and costs across markets and businesses  To manage risks through multinational flexibility  Different kinds of risks arising from market- or policy-induced changes in comparative advantages of different countries  Portfolio diversification of risks and creation of options and side bets  To facilitate innovation and learning  Tapping into a skill base, eg. technological, organizational, managerial  Benefiting from experience – cost reduction and innovation  Synergies and shared learning across different products, markets, or businesses  Other  Following global customers  Building reputation, changing identity Adapted from Grant 2007

Slide 12: Forces for worldwide innovation and learning  Increasing pace of technology development  Shortening product life-cycles  Rising R&D costs  Increasing number of multinationals with capability to develop and diffuse innovation globally Increasing need to develop worldwide organization as a learning system Innovative capability as emerging source of competitive advantage Adapted from Grant 2007 2-11

Slide 13: Did You Know: Shift Happens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMcfrLYDm2U Which globalization forces are presented? 13

Slide 14: But….  Not every firm is ready to internationalize  Prematurely venturing outside borders may harm overall firm performance, especially for smaller firms with small margin for error • Long-term investment • High ambitions - risk • Commitment - exit barriers Adapted from Sölvell

Slide 19: 1. Which of these are the most important at the present time? 2. Which of these will be the most important in the next few years?  Political  Economic  Global, regional, and national political  Business cycles development (administration, political  GNP trends parties)  Interest rates & exchange rates  Taxation policy  Money supply  Foreign trade regulations  Inflation  Labour market politics  Unemployment  Government stability  Wage level  Terrorism  Private consumption and disposable  Social income  Population demographics  Public finances  Income distribution  Energy availability and cost  Social mobility  Technological  Lifestyle changes  Government spending on research  Attitudes to work and leisure  Government and industry focus of  Attitudes to consumerism technological effort  Levels of education  New discoveries/development  Changes in values/attitudes  Speed of technology transfer  Education conditions  Rates of obsolescence  Work environment conditions  New patents and products  Health conditions  Legal  Environmental  Development in price and competitive  Ecology legislation  Pollution conditions  Labour market legislation  ”Green” energy  Product safety and approvals  Energy conservation  Waste handling 19

Slide 20: How far is the distance from the home country?  Cultural distance  Difference between two cultures along some identifiable dimensions, eg such as power distance  Institutional distance  Extent of similarity or dissimilarity between regulatory, normative, and cognitive institutions of two countries Grant 2007

Slide 21: Differences in uncertainty avoidance and power distance Grant 2007

Slide 22: Five dimensions of national culture Differences in national culture found to result in different organizational and administrative practices and employee expectations (Kogut & Singh 1988, Zander 1997, Straub 1994) 1. Power distance  Degree that less powerful members of organizations and institutions accept and expect that power is distributed unequally 2. Individualism  Degree that individuals are integrated into strong cohesive groups 3. Masculinity  Degree that values are characterized by assertiveness and competitiveness vs modesty and caring 4. Uncertainty avoidance  Degree that individuals feel comfortable with ambiguity, uncertainty, unstructured situations 5. Long-term orientation – Degree that individuals deal with virtue regardless of truth (thrift and perseverance) vs tradition, fulfilling social obligations, and protecting “face” Hofstede 1980, 2003

Slide 23: Three pillars of institutional profile Differences in institutional profile found to result in adoption of different organizational and administrative practices (Kostova & Roth 2002, Busenitz et al. 2000) 1. Regulatory  Government policies and legal system 2. Normative  Value systems 3. Cognitive  Widely shared social knowledge Note: Cross-cultural management researchers are divided as to whether national culture and institutional profile are distinct. Scott 1995

Slide 24: Porter’s diamond model

Slide 25: What is the quality of the business environment? Porter’s Diamond Model

Slide 26: Is there a cluster to tap into? Haan

Slide 27: A high-technology cluster in Israel  Recognized as excellent source of technology innovation  Largest concentration of high-tech companies outside US  Created category leaders in various industries  Tremendous concentration of global technology leaders Haan

Slide 28: The Boston Life Sciences Cluster – Porter 2005

Slide 29: Nations/regions are trying to attract investment

Slide 30: After this preliminary screening… Which foreign markets warrant further detailed investigation?

Slide 31: Internationalization framework INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT FIRM RESOURCES •Rivalry among firms & CAPABILITIES •Barriers to entry • Financial resources •Bargaining power of suppliers • Physical resources •Bargaining power of buyers • Technology •Substitute products/services • Reputation • Functional capabilities • General management WWBH capabilities NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT • Political environment • Economic environment • Social environment • Technological environment • Environmental environment • Legal environment • National culture • Cluster conditions

Slide 32: Industry definition A group of firms producing products that are close substitutes for each other Porter 32

Slide 33: How big is the profit and who is after it? vs Profit Profit 33

Slide 34: Five forces of competition SUPPLIERS Bargaining power of suppliers INDUSTRY COMPETITORS Threat of Threat of POTENTIAL ENTRANTS SUBSTITUTES new substitutes entrants Rivalry among existing firms Bargaining power of buyers BUYERS Porter 34

Slide 35: Rivalry between established competitors What makes  Numerous or equally balanced competitors competitors “fight” harder?  Slow industry growth  High fixed costs  Lack of differentiation or switching costs  Capacity augmented in large increments  High strategic stakes  High exit barriers Porter 35

Slide 36: Bargaining power of buyers Who decides the price? Buyer’s price sensitivity Relative bargaining power • What is cost of product as % •What are size and of buyer’s total costs? concentration of buyers • How differentiated is the relative to sellers? purchased item? •What are buyer’s switching • How intense is competition costs? between buyers? •What is buyer’s information? • How important is the item to •What is ability to backward quality of the buyer’s own output? integrate? Porter 36

Slide 37: Bargaining power of suppliers Who decides the price? Supplier’s price sensitivity Relative bargaining power •What is cost of supplies as % of •What are size and total supplier’s sales? concentration of sellers •How differentiated is the relative to buyers? supplied item? •What is supplier’s •How intense is competition information? between suppliers? •What is supplier’s ability to forward integrate? Porter 37

Slide 38: How “easy” is Threat of substitutes it to switch? Existence of substitutes places Point A ? Point B ceiling on prices that can be charged •Same function ● Train/plane/car/ICT •Better price-performance ● Books/videos ● Record-players/CD-players ● Security guards / electronic alarm systems Porter 38

Slide 39: Threat of new entrants  High capital requirements What keeps new  High economies of scale competitors out -  Strong customer loyalties  High switching costs barriers to entry?  High product differentiation  Limited access to distribution channels  High legal/regulatory barriers  Large cost disadvantages independent of scale ● Ex. Proprietary technology, raw materials, location, learning curve, government subsidies  Strong retaliation by industry participants Porter 39

Slide 45: How well can you sustain your advantage?  Scarcity: How scarce are your resources?  Imitability: How easy is it to imitate your resources and capabilities?  Bundled: How easy is it to identify your resources and capabilities? Adapted from Grant 2007

Slide 46: Leveraging resources and capabilities for success

Slide 47: You are listening to WWBH, Kiss FM! Ask yourself four basic questions WHY? WHERE? BRING? HOW? Adapted from Sölvell

Slide 48: Modes of entry choice  Exporting  Direct or indirect sales of services or products in foreign market from home market.  Licensing  Arrangement where firm (licensor) grants to independent foreign firm (licensee) rights of intangible assets (patents, trade secrets, know-how, trade marks, or company name) to produce firm's product or service in their country for negotiated fee - normally royalty payments on number of units sold.  Franchising  Specialized form of licensing in which firm (franchisor) licenses business system as well as other property rights to franchisee. Franchisor licenses way of organizing and conducting a business under its trade name and in return, the franchisor receives fees, running royalties, and other compensations from franchisee.  Turnkey  Firm agrees to handle every detail of project for foreign client, including training of personnel, and at completion “hands over key” to foreign client.  Joint venture  International firm shares in ownership of an enterprise in target country. Most commonly, international firm agrees to share capital and other resources with another local firm.  Wholly owned subsidiary  Firm acquires 100 percent of firm or sets up own through greenfield. Hill 2000

Slide 49: A hierarchical model of entry choice modes Commitment Adapted from Y. Pan & D. Tse, 2000, The hierarchical model of market entry modes (p. 538), Journal of International Business Studies, 31: 535–554.

Slide 50: Criteria for selecting entry mode Trade-off of four critical variables 1. Control - Ability to influence systems, methods, and decisions in operation of target market 2. Transfer risk - Possibility that firm specific advantages in know-how will be expropriated 3. Resource intensity (cost) - Amount of dedicated assets, eg management, marketing, provision of technical support, and human resources 4. Learning - Ability to gain foreign market knowledge, eg customer preferences, techniques of foreign operation, ways of doing business, legal rules, etc. Delfman Delfmann

Slide 53: Advantages & disadvantages of entry modes Entry Mode Advantage Disadvantage Franchising Low development costs and Lack of control over quality risks Inability to engage in global strategic coordination Joint Access to local partner’s Lack of control over technology ventures knowledge Inability to engage in global strategic Sharing development costs and coordination risks Inability to realize location and Politically acceptable experience economies Wholly Protection of technology High costs and risks owned Ability to engage in global subsidiaries strategic coordination Ability to realize location and experience economies Hill 2000

Slide 54: Entry Modes - Exporting Advantages Disadvantages  Avoids the often substantial cost of  Not appropriate if lower cost manufacturing establishing manufacturing locations  May help firm achieve experience curve &  High transport costs can make exporting location economies uneconomical especially bulk products  Firm may manufacture in centralized  Tariff barriers can make exporting location & export to other national uneconomical markets to realize scale economies from global sales volume (Sony/TV, Matsushita/VCR, Samsung/Chips)  If firm delegates marketing, sales & service to another company they may have divided loyalties because they carry competing products or are a large MNE (Diebold)  Can set up wholly owned subsidiaries to handle local marketing & sales -> can exercise tight control while reaping cost advantage of manufacturing in a single location Burke

Slide 55: Entry Mode - Licensing Advantages Disadvantages  Receive royalties for granting the  Does not give firm tight control over rights to intangible property to manufacturing, marketing & strategy licensee for specified period (patents, to realize experience curve & location inventions, formulas, processes, economies designs, copyrights, trademarks)  Does not allow firm to coordinate  Licensee puts up most of the capital to strategic moves across countries by get the operations going – mitigates using profits earned in one country for development cost & risk competitive attacks in another  Allows firm to participate where there  Firms can lose control over the are barriers to investment (Fuji-Xerox) competitive advantage of their technological know-how.  Frequently used when firm possesses  Cross-licensing can mitigate risk intangible property but does not want by holding each other hostage for to develop the business application misuse itself (Coco-Cola/clothing)  Firms can reduce risk by forming a joint venture with each party taking equity stakes  Primarily used by manufacturing firms Burke

Slide 56: Entry Modes – Turnkey Project Advantages Disadvantages  Means of exporting process  Firm has no long term interest in the technology (chemical, pharmaceutical, country – can take minority equity petroleum, mining) interest in company  Know-how to assemble & run  Firm may inadvertently create a technologically complex process is competitor (middle east oil refineries) valuable asset – earn economic benefit from asset  If firm’s process technology is a source of competitive advantage, then  Strategy useful where governments selling technology is also selling restrict FDI - less risky than competitive advantage to potential conventional FDI competitors Burke

Slide 57: Entry Mode - Franchising Advantages Disadvantages  Involves longer term commitment  No manufacturing so no location than licensing. Primarily used by economies & experience curve service firms (McDonalds)  May inhibit the ability to take profits  Franchiser sells intangible property out of one country to support (trademark) & insists franchisee competitive attacks in another agrees to abide by strict business rules (location, methods, design, staffing, supply chain)  Risk of worldwide reputation if no quality control  Firm can set up “master  Royalty payments that are some franchise” in each country – percentage of franchisee’s revenues subsidiary which is JV (McDonalds & local firm)  Firm relieved of many costs & risks of opening new market. Burke

Slide 58: Entry Mode – Joint Ventures Advantages Disadvantages  Typically 50/50 with contributed team of  Risk of giving away your technology to a managers to share operating control partner  Hold majority ownership for more  Firm benefits from local partner’s knowledge control in venture of competitive conditions, culture, language,  Wall-off technology that is central to political system & business system your core competency  Sharing market development costs & risks  Does not give firm control over with local partner subsidiaries that it might need to realize experience curve or location economies  In some countries, political considerations make JVs the only feasible entry mode  Global strategic coordination – firm use JV for checking competitor market share and limiting cash available for invading other markets (TI & Japan)  Shared ownership can lead to conflicts & battles for control if goals/objectives change or they take different views on strategy Burke

Slide 59: Entry Mode – Subsidiary Advantages Disadvantages  When there is technological  Most costly method of market entry competence wholly-owned subsidiary reduces risk over losing control  Risk associated with learning to do business in a new culture  Give firm tight control over operations in country -> engage in strategic coordination with profits  Can realize location & experience curve economies – centrally determined decisions Burke

Slide 60: Greenfield or Acquisition  Greenfield  better ability to build organization you want  Easier to establish own culture & operating routine  Do not have revenue & profit history  Slower to establish – need to understand how to do business in that country  Acquisition  50%-80% of FDI is acquisition  Quick to execute – rapidly build presence  Acquisitions can preempt competition  Buying known revenue & profit stream  Need to marry divergent corporate cultures Burke

Slide 61: Scale of entry: Commitment and experience  Large-scale entry  Benefits  Demonstration of strategic commitment to certain markets, which both assures local customers and suppliers and deters potential entrants  Drawbacks  Large-scale entry limits strategic flexibility elsewhere  Entrants must incur sizable losses if the large-scale entry “bet” turns out to be wrong  Small-scale entry  Benefits  Less costly if entry is unsuccessful  Organization learns through hands-on experience in host countries  Drawbacks  Lack of strong strategic commitment, which may lead to difficulties in building market share and capturing first mover advantages Ahlstrom & Cook

Slide 62: Strategic alliances growing in importance  Cooperative agreement involving mutual dependence and shared decision making between potential or actual competing organizations  Multiple forms including JVs, R&D collaborations, piggy backing, sourcing relationships, etc.  Differ from traditional JVs  Increasingly between firms in industrialized nations  Focus on creation of new products and technologies rather than distribution of existing ones  Reasons  Rising R&D costs  Shortening product life cycles  Growing market entry barriers  Increasing need for global scale economies  Expanding importance of global standards  Uncertainty in technological developments GEB 6365

Slide 63: Managing strategic alliances  Understanding logic of collaboration  Identifying when, where, and why to collaborate  Usually one of several options for pursuing a strategic goal (eg product exchange, learning, market positioning) - never an end in itself  Alternatives to collaboration: self-sufficiency, buying inputs or skills, full acquisition  Selecting partners  Knowing how to maximize benefits and minimize risks of partnerships  Complementary needs and resources/capabilities  Access to market  Structuring alliances  Choosing organizational forms that provide incentives for success  Contracts vs. equity relationships GEB 6365

Slide 65: Timing of entry  Early entry  Firm enters foreign market before other foreign firms  First mover advantage  Ability to preempt rivals & capture demand by establishing strong brand name  Build sales volume and ride down experience curve with cost advantage  Create switching cost that tie customers into products & services  First mover disadvantages - Pioneering costs  Time & effort in learning rules  Mistakes due to ignorance  Liability of being foreigner  Costs of promoting & establishing product – educating customers (KFC in China -> benefit to McDonald’s) Adapted from Delfmann

Slide 66: Dynamics of internationalization Ongoing assessment of trade-offs and resources and capabilities Decision to increase internationalization Ongoing evaluation involvement of national and industry environments

Slide 67: Typical internationalization process 2. Sporadic exporting in response to unsolicited requests 3. Systematic exporting 4. Licensing to a foreign company 5. Strategic alliances 6. Establishing a wholly owned sales subsidiary 7. Acquiring existing foreign operations 8. Establishing foreign manufacturing and/or R&D Fey 2008
